"THE" Mega Gargant

In a new age of Apocalypse it is only fitting that we take a step back and look at one of the best scratch builds I have ever seen. Powell Hall a local gamer in St. Charles MO and Ork Warboss has built one of the coolest models around. He used recycled monitors, imperial sector walls and otherwise random items around the house to build this awesome kit. His inspiration came from the Epic Model. So you can see first hand the Epic scale (Purple) and the truly EPIC build (Red).

Notice the degree of detail in this model when you compare the two of them. Its one thing to create an ork scratch build by throwing models together and hitting it up with tons plates and guns. It's another thing entirely to build an ork monster like this and get the details of the Epic model down to the letter. Further more the use of computer monitors and other bits to him there is just awesome. Here is a shot at the bits before paint and assemble.

Powell is currently working on an additional build that will fill the gap between his various Ork Titans. As you can see from the pic below he has a fair amount of the family done but is maybe missing the second child. So excited to see what he has in store for us in the coming months as he finishes his latest orksterpiece.

Final Dimensions:
34" tall at the top of the head (not including the gun turret that sits on top of the head).
51" tall at the top of the Weirdboy Tower.
23" wide at the tracks.
The lower hull is 20" deep, but with the "knives" out front and the small set of treads to the rear, it covers 41" from front to back.
With the CC arm extended out and the Lifta droppa clocked horizontal, it spans 53".
